    “Okay, we finished the future machine. Hey future-machine, what’s gonna happen?”

    “About 3 billion people will die and one continent worth of land become uninhabitable. A version of your civilization will survive, but unrecognizable to the people of today. You will lose many things you take for granted.”

    “… that’s after the 0.9 degrees?”

    “If you are lucky, yes.”

    “… what about before?”

    “Do you really want to know?”
